Corporate Tax Rates by Country

Taxes paid by corporations can be measured in a number of ways, including the marginal corporate tax rate and the total taxes paid as a percentage of profits.

Project Coordinator: S.J. Yun

Overall, KPMG’s analysis is that “corporate tax rates in many countries have stabilized after a decade of decline”. In a context of lower corporate tax rates, however, “tax authorities in the vast majority of developed countries are facing pressure to increase revenues from their tax base with fewer resources,” states the latest KPMG International, Corporate and Indirect Tax Survey. “This has led to tax authorities pursuing more tax audits and investigations leading to larger adjustments, with more potential for penalties and interest.” Additionally, authorities from the EU, the OECD and the G20 are looking for more stringent cooperation among their members in order to increase transparency and make revenue collection more effective.
